Summary

The Chargers had a so-so showing defensively last year, ranking 16th overall. San Diego was a little stronger against the pass, ranking 13th overall. They have some solid corners in Quentin Jammer and Antoine Cason, though. These guys will anchor the secondary once again with Eric Weddle wreaking havoc at safety. The pass defense should be a strength once again for the Chargers. The Chargers lack a little bulk upfront, though, which is why they had some struggles stopping the run last season. The addition of Jarrett Johnston at outside linebacker should help some in that area. San Diego will get middle of the pack sack totals. They have a few guys that will get after the quarterback but lack a dominate pass rusher. Special teams should be improved with Eddie Royal in the mix in the return game. The Chargers clearly missed Darren Sproles last year but the addition of Royal should improve this area.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
The Chargers are just a so-so fantasy defense. They are worth some spot starts but aren't a clear No. 1. Their sack totals are just alright but they will get some interceptions and limit yards against the right opponent.
